f5c4c5d41c I maintain the Google Analytics file and must approve changes. 
This should have been here since it was committed.

Implement DNT checks

Make enable/disabling the flip of an obvious switch.

Remove pointless custom variable (it doesn't work anyways)

Fix some style errors

Add a file allowing Google to verify that I "control" freebsd.org
